A little history...
My mom and I were talking a few months ago about how we
would both like to get back into shape. She ran a half marathon last year and
has expressed how much she liked the feeling after she crossed the finish line
after all her training. So I suggested that we sign up for a run and told her
to invite the family also. We’ve been training ever since. I was sick all
through the beginning of Oct and got off track of the training but Mike has
been doing great.
To get him excited to run our 8 miles we’re gonna run, Mike
decided to sign up to run in a race that was a little shorter. He ran his 5k on
Saturday that was hosted by the Denton Animal Shelter. He has been pretty busy
so I’ll give the update. He ran the first mile and was doing great. This is the
first time he has been able to run in many many years so this was a HUGE DEAL!
He sped walked for the next two miles and when he was getting to the finish
line started to run. Right as he was about to finish he heard a loud POP in his
knee. Yup, right at the end he hurt himself. It’s been about a week and he’s
healing crazy fast. He’s not able to run yet, but hopefully he’ll be able to
continue training for the Turkey Trot next week.

| Sharon and her dogs dressed up in 80's costumes came and did the one mile |

| Finishing the race! He's so good looking! |

Yay for all of you!! What a great accomplishment. I remember running my first 5k, it was the farthest I had ever run:) But, 2 years later I ended up running a marathon and I cried as I crossed the finish line. I was by no means the fastest, but the time is not what's important, finishing is what is important. So GREAT work you guys. I can't wait to hear all about your running adventures:)And I hope the knee heals fast!!
